23 Early 2000s Hair Trends We're (Mostly) Nostalgic For

Adiantku 2 years ago

After several years of all things ’90s retaking fashion and beauty trends, it seems a natural progression that the 2000s followed suit. But if the ’90s were known for sleek, minimalist looks, the decade after them was known for just the opposite. “Hair in the 2000s was wild because everyone was trying to do something a little different that no one had seen before,” says celebrity hairstylist and Color Wow artistic director Joseph Maine. “There were really no limits and people were experimenting with different textures and accessories. It was a playful time for style.” And playful is right. From dramatic hair colors to iconic (and unique) haircuts, hair in the early aughts was in a beauty league of its own.

Although some of today’s fashion icons like Bella Hadid and Megan Thee Stallion are no doubt inspired by this time in fashion and beauty history, it’s evident … Read the rest

Adiantku 2 years ago

If you thought you’ve seen all there is of HBO Max’s buzzy Gen Z show Generation, fortunately, you thought wrong! The show, created by 19-year-old Zelda Barnes and her father, David Barnes, is back for the second part of the first season on June 17 – just in time for Pride Month celebrations. In case you missed it, the dramedy follows high-school students Chester, Riley, Greta, Arianna, Delilah, and siblings Naomi and Nathan as they explore their sexuality and identities against the backdrop of social media, conservative families, and adolescent antics.

For those who’ve seen even one episode of Generation, you know the costumes are key to the show’s world and the way each character expresses themselves. Costume designer Shirley Kurata’s Gen Z wardrobes are incredibly on point and back and better than ever in the second part of the series.

Kurata told POPSUGAR that she’s used a … Read the rest

I'm Refreshing My Lingerie Collection With These Incredible Prime Day Buys

Adiantku 2 years ago

We’re knee-deep into the summer sale season, with a plethora of designer events still ongoing, but I’ve been patiently waiting all year for one shopping event in particular. If you guessed Prime Day, you’re right on the money. It officially kicked off yesterday, (contrary to its name the event is actually two days), chockful of epic deals from kitchen gadgets to furniture, but I have my eyes zoomed in on the glorious assortment of lingerie. As I’ve waxed poetic before, Amazon is a really great place to stock up for the basic staples of any lingerie drawer. You can find pretty lace bralettes as well quality supportive bras in a wide range of sizes typically not found at other department stores. Amazon’s underwear selection was especially useful to me this year when I revamped my collection of briefs and seamless bottoms. The deals are especially sweeter this time around in

Adiantku 2 years ago

“Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” Coco Chanel’s now-famous piece of style advice has transcended decades of style evolutions, serving many of us well on date nights, for prom, and even at the occasional job interview. Enter: TikTok LGBTQ+ Trailblazer and self-described icon Kenneth Pabon, whose personal style mantra is all about doing the most every single day. Known for his signature dating advice videos and his “How to Be Iconic” series with his mom, Patti, Kenneth is no stranger to bright colors, bold prints, and over-the-top accessories. Exhibit A: the four-inch heels, formal high-low dress, and glass of Merlot he regularly works on the treadmill, aka his at-home catwalk.

“Pick out the craziest piece of clothing that you want to wear, and then match everything else to that.”

“It doesn’t have to be Halloween to wear a nice costume,” Kenneth said … Read the rest

29 Useful Amazon Items That Would Actually Make My Life Easier

Adiantku 2 years ago

If I was asked to name a retailer with more organizational items in one place than Amazon, I don’t think I’d be able to do it. It’s truly a one-stop-shop for every useful item you could possibly need in life. And that’s probably why I was placing daily Amazon orders after I moved last year. Whether it’s your closet, kitchen, desk, or laundry that needs organizing, there’s something for every need. 

Given that it’s Prime Day and you’re probably shopping on Amazon anyway, what better time to add some of those useful organizational items you know you’ve been needing to your cart? Of the items rounded up below, I can personally attest to some of them, and others have great reviews, so you can shop with confidence. You’ll notice that some of the items I chose aren’t strictly organizational, but they’re very useful and definitely made my life easier, so … Read the rest

Adiantku 2 years ago

The vast world of beauty products can be overwhelming. Whether you seek advice from experts on Instagram, influencers on TikTok, or even our own editors, determining what products are actually worth your time—and investment—can be daunting. 

Fortunately, instead of cobbling together a spreadsheet with finds from the For You page on TikTok or filling up your cart through Instagram’s shopping feature, someone, or rather something, has done the heavy lifting for you. That’s right—Amazon has aggregated the most viral, top-selling products into a single handy Internet Famous landing page that is easy to filter by category and price, which, most importantly, makes it even easier to add things to your cart so you can experience these buzzworthy products for yourself while stocking up on Prime Day tomorrow.

With that in mind, we sifted through the four pages of viral products to unearth 33 of the most affordable (and efficacious) beauty … Read the rest

I Don't Own a Yacht, But It Looks Like I Should in These Bikinis

Adiantku 2 years ago

My summer is looking a bit different this year: I don’t have any international getaways planned, all of my group trips are on hiatus, and now my patio has become my source of capturing that vacation feeling. As I sit on my outdoor chairs and sip on a homemade (and poorly mixed) cocktail, in my mind it’s an Aperol Spritz and I’m aboard a yacht along the pastel shores of the Amalfi Coast. It’s a bit of a stretch, and a long way from anywhere in Italy, but what’s been helping me at least transport there mentally, is wearing a chic designer bikini.

As much as I love a good bargain, even I succumb to the beauty of a designer swimsuit. From the luxurious-looking fabrics to the one-of-a-kind details, it’s really hard to pass up a fancy bikini when the design is right. Right now, I’ve been loving brands like … Read the rest

Swimsuit season is here, everyone, and there are so many stunning trends to know about that we honestly can’t stop talking about. From vibrant saturated shades and high-cut silhouettes to three-pieces swimsuits and the retro florals that have already taken over, there are so many cool swimwear trends to know about for summer 2021.

Y’all asked for under $100 pieces, so I hunted down some cheap swimsuits that tap into all of the biggest summer trends at an affordable price point.

5 Sunglasses Trends to Shop For Summer

Adiantku 2 years ago

We know you’re searching for sunglasses shapes to add to your rotation year-round, so we won’t skimp on the trends you’ll want to get to know. We scoured the runways and checked the new arrivals from our favorite eyewear brands – Oliver Peoples, Linda Farrow, Le Specs, and Quay Australia, just to name a few – and uncovered the biggest looks of 2021. These styles may be even more important than your blue-light reading glasses because you can wear them outside and inside – inside, like, when you’re posing for an outfit selfie, of course.

This year, we’re not only seeing a repetition of certain shapes, but a recreation of them. Futuristic designs come in all forms – some have frames that swerve or make waves at the sides, while others feature incredibly cool cutouts in the actual lens itself. Meanwhile, heavy metal is a trend, and we’re seeing yellow … Read the rest
